Most radio shows play music, deliver the latest news or serve as platforms for political debate. Radiolab, on the other hand, is keen on answering some of life's biggest questions. "It's a show about asking about how the world works, and asking big religious-sized questions," said Radiolab host Jad Abumrad. On March 23 and 24 at 8 p.m., hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich will perform live recordings of Radiolab with cellist Zoe Keating at Royce Hall. Radiolab originated in New York as a free-form set with Abumrad performing for three hours, late at night, at a time when no one was listening. "I remember just being lost, confused, excited and experimenting "“ and more than anything, just feeling like this will never work," Abumrad said. In 2004, Abumrad met radio host Robert Krulwich and had him guest-host one of his radio shows, which were loosely science-based and officially dubbed "Radiolab." The two eventually became very good friends. Abumrad said both he and Krulwich never expected anyone to like the show. Now, Radiolab is co-hosted by Abumrad and Krulwich. Read more...
